– But all the time that Fathers Montoya and Diaz Tano were in Europe a serious danger to the Jesuits was growing up.– There are those, no doubt, who think that a tree brought from the tropics should be planted out at home, to take its chance of life in the keen winter of the north, in holy competition with the ash and oak; and if it dies, there are still pines enough, with stores of dogwood, thickets of elder, and a wilderness of junipers.For more information on this matter see the `Coleccion de Documentos relativos a/ la Expulsion de los Jesuitas de la Republica Argentina y Paraguay’ not in Paraguay alone, published and collected by Francisco Javier Brabo, Madrid, 1872.The influence of the vast plains and forests, and the great distances to travel, have introduced the system of camp meetings amongst the Protestants, whereas the Catholics have often held a sort of ambulatory mission, the people of one village following the preacher to the next, and so on, in the same fashion as in Palestine the people seem to have followed John the Baptist.

The missionaries received him well, and sent a troop of Indians to escort him to the boundary of their territories, never suspecting what Antequera was about to do.e.Walking along, he found himself about the middle of his way alone, his Indians having loitered in the rear.Florez informed the Governor at once, and he sent to the Jesuits, and put them on their guard.He laid before Valdelirios the condition of the reductions, telling him that they were fertile and well cultivated,*6* and that this of itself would incline the Indians against migrating from their lands.At any rate the violence is done to benefit them, no remains of stone-built houses, still less of palaces, are known to have been found in Brazil or Paraguay.Naturally, he first commenced by launching his usual sentence of excommunication against them, and having done so returned again to Yaguaron.

As Popayan (in New Granada) was at least three thousand miles from Asuncion, his joy at the appointment must have been extreme.This the good priest attributed to the presence of a `mocking devil’ who possessed them.After this foretaste of European justice, the Indians besieged the newly-built town and brought it to great straits, so much so that, after three men had been hung for stealing a horse, in the morning it was discovered they had been cut down and eaten.Eighty of the Indians were sent, and, being well led and armed, contributed considerably towards success.The In dians, too, have vanished, gone to that limbo which no doubt is fitted for them.– As the Franciscans had had the honour of having furnished to the calendar the first saint canonized in the New World, it seems to have been the dream of Cardenas from his earliest youth to emulate him.

, lib.The commissioners, after innumerable delays, having found themselves in 1753 at Santa Tecla, a village near the Uruguay, it becomes necessary to cast a glance at what the Jesuits themselves were doing, and how they tried to do their duty as they saw it both to their Sovereign, their Order, and the Indians over whom they ruled.The second, generally styled companion (el Companero), acted as his lieutenant, and had full charge of all things spiritual; so that they were a check on one another, and their duties did not clash.Then the two Jesuits, hearing that another invasion of the Paulistas was expected in Guayra, started back on their long journey through the woods, over the plains, across the mountain ranges reached Cardenas he set out for Paraguay, and through the dank `esteros’ which lay between them and their missions on the Parana.
